the y-2?: ss.as2,42ETs?io. Less Than Requested
Congress voted s9oo.ooo,ooo 1953 in new cash than what President Eisenhower said was the "honest minimum" when he revised form- er President Truman's budget. The approved total was 33,000,000, 000 under the s7.soo,ooo.ooo Truman said was needed.
Final Senate action of the House of Representatives-approved com- promise foreign aid measure was by voice vote and without the im- passioned. lengthy oratory that marked senate debate on the bill last week.
Administration leaders in the Senate were forced to fight stren- uously in the floor debate to ward 0" repeated attempts to slash the funds deeper and to tie strings to use the money by foreign coun- tries.
This year's foreign aid bill could be the last.
The mutual security law expires next June 30 as far as new auth- orizations go. although the new bill permits spending to continue 1957 for military items and to 1956 for economic aid to free nations.
The new cash provided for in the. new foreign aid bill is the low- est in five years. Last year it was 36.001.947.000. The peak was 67.- 621.Ib0.000 for fiscal 1951.
More Aid To Asis
The proportion of aid to Asian nations is doubled this year as compared with last year. The measure authorised t400.000.000 to pay for material built in France and used by French forces in fighting Communist forces in In- do-China. ,,
The bill also makes special pro- vision for the buildup of North Ai- lantic Treaty Organization NATO air strength in Western Europe.
The U. S. will put up :282.000.000 -about half the cost-of building about 1.600 jet fighters for NATO in England. France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

OTTAWA. (CF)-Canada. and tho 'United states recently had some- thing in common along cost-of-liv- ling lines-clirnbing food prices.
Rising food prices during May
reversed a continuous six-month drop in the Canadian consumer price index. bumping it by one- half point.
The index. based on 1949 prices equalling 100. now stands at 11-10. just 3.3 points below the all-iinic high of 118.2 in December. 1951. The June edition of the consumer price survey likely will be pub- lished today or Wednesday.
In the U. S.. high food prices forced livliig costs to a. record higii between May and Julie. The Amer- ican .vai'dstlck rose four-tenths of one per cent between mid-May rind mid-June. placing it at 114.5 per cent. of the 1047-49 average.
Before the May rise. Canadian food prices had been generally ens- lng. But in May pork showed sur- prising strength. and along with higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. other meats, bread and eggs. forced the index to its big- gest jump in 19 months.
The old yardstick. based on 1935- 39 prices equalling 100. showed a similar trend. rising by 1.2 points to 184.6 anti reversing a steady. three- month decline. This coinparecl with the all-time high of 1915 iii l)e- cemlier. 1951. Higher food prices also were reflected in the May rise.
